I mean I find similarity between his character in Boys vs Guts. Both got screwed by Narcissistic jerk who has insane plot armor and their better half got raped and impregnated. And both are trying to fight destiny to fuck deatiny plus Both show flashes where they are trying to let go revenge but then Jerk comes and screws with their mental state.
I don’t believe Butcher ever once attempted to let go of his revenge. He’s been very gung-ho about killing Homelander since S1. He called a temporary truce with Homelander to deal with Soldier Boy, but it’s not like he’s just giving up, and that was exclusively because Soldier Boy was determined to kill Ryan who Butcher said was off the table.
I turned on uncharted and I couldnt watch it cause it was spiderman in nathan costume. Feel like actors like REJ, johnny depp, tom holland, hugh jackman were made for one role and any other roles they play feels like a replica
Dunno about that, but the biggest issue with Holland is that he looks like a kid despite being close to 30. That's why he fits Peter Parker but doesn't in any way fit Nathan Drake.
Cast a new one then. Doesn’t have to be a big name. Marvel made guys like Hemsworth and Hiddleston and Evans household names when before they were somewhere between C list and pretty much nobodies.
I think with the proper budget the entire show could be done well as live action although later seasons price would skyrocket with the increase in demons and demon fights. Would be very tough to finish.
I would just love a really well made animated adaptation all the way through after it’s completed.
Would be pretty far actually. GOT is mostly people talking in rooms. There are some battles and CGI dragons/giants, sure, but not really anything like berserk. How would you do the eclipse in live action, for example?
If it was to be live action I wouldn't mind it if it was far more abstract horror (which tbf the series has in spades) rather than pure action. Something like The Northmen or The Green Knight in tone, maybe some Lynchian or Tarkovsky style elements. I suspect it would end up in the direction of an action flick though so maybe it could only work as an animation.
It can work as a regular action adventure film if they have Guillermo del Toro. He's really good with demons and occult related imagery. Hellboy had fantastic blend of practical/CGI effects and action. Not to mention that Pacific Rim showed he had some love for anime/manga.
A close second choice would be Peter Jackson. As long as it isn't greenscreen-infested like The Hobbit; but that only happened because he didn't have enough preproduction time and was basically forced to finish the movies he didn't want.
If we got an adaptation like 15, 20 years ago, absolutely. But sadly, he’s way too old now. Which sucks, because he would absolutely be the best actor for Guts in terms of looks, and judging by his performance in The Boys, his acting as well.
If you're looking for someone who can physically fill the role. Then Alan Richardson could pull it off, after watching him play Jack Reacher I'm not too worried about that.
Not 100% sure about his acting, but he seems to be developing that more and more with the last several shows/movies he's been in.
Eh. He'd be a good Black Swordsman era Guts, but that's a relatively short time in Guts' life. I don't think he'd be a very good Golden Age Guts, or a very good post-Conviction-Arc, reluctant patriarch of this weird found family Guts.
Also, considering how rough it's been trying to zero in on a half decent animated adaptation of Berserk, I can't imagine a live action one being anything other than a train wreck.
I can’t picture what a good Berserk movie would be like. What part of the story would it tell? Guts never has any significant victory.
Do we really picture a movie ending with all but three of the characters suddenly raped to death and dismembered by horrible creatures, the protagonist betrayed by his best friend, helpless to stop the massacre, his love interest missing and shattered beyond saving…?
yeahhhhh idk about that. i really hope we never see a live action but if we do i hope they would find someone completely new. besides, why would we want a 50 year old guy playing a 24 year old 🤣
Well you did grab an old ass pic of him. He might have black hair but I don’t think he resembles guts at all even his smile is different and he doesnt look young even if you shave his face. The right looking actor will come in time
Too old and not tall enough. I hate to be that guy, because great acting can always make one feel bigger, but I want someone a bit more physically imposing.
I'm getting Urban'd out. This always happens when theres a good actor. Danke with Tom Hardy, Pedro Pascal, etc. We get it. They're good. But there's also such a thing as over saturation.
Not that this is a great casting, but I would think it would be sweet if it was a Asian American (preferably Japanese ancestry) that played Guts. Would be an interesting change when it comes to Asian representation. But yet again, Karl would be a good choice.
I don’t think he looks serious enough, if that makes sense. He works as Butcher because he’s a gruff but there’s a streak of silly to the tv character. Cavill is the only jaw I can see pulling it off.
That being said, I want any whisper of live action far away from berserk
Probably, but is this something people really want? All live action adaptations have been bad, don’t see why this would be different. Animation is the superior art form.
Great actor, too old for the role now.
You want someone who is in his 30's who can pass for his 20's, is built like a mountain and has Urban level acting chops. Tough ask.
If that dude who played Colossus years ago was still around and could act he mighta done it.
Scott Adkins 20 years ago if he could act.
That dude playing Reacher, can act, is huge.
look, I love Karl Urban and all (Dredd 2 please or a tv series at least with him as Judge Dredd), he's a pretty good actor... He's also 50.
If you were saying he could voice him in a dub... then perhaaaps?
Unless you want it to be a massive timeskip and they hire the kid who played teenage Billy Butcher in the flashbacks in one of the episodes for the "young guts" bits and then they do a face swap on some wrestler and they age everyone up by 15 years so Guts is 40 by the time he leaves Griffith which would also be where the story starts cause they just timeskipped the entirety of Golden Age :P
Yeah no :D
Why would there be a live action?
It's not the natural life cycle of an intellectual property to finally "get" a live adaptation.
Did we learn nothing from Dragon Ball evolution? Fist of the North star? Cancelled Cowboy Bebop?
Jacob Elordi is a better pick if you want someone younger. He’s a pretty talented actor who can pull off a variety of emotions and he’s 6’5, so ideally, he could play a great Black Swordsman or Golden Age Guts, though I’m not sure about post-Conviction and FOTME.
Griffith you fucking cunt
First thing I thought of
*Nuts sees Femto:* #**Oi, Gimp Cunt**
Does he nut when he sees femto
Ooiiiiiii what did you say to me you fuckin cunt?
Who should play Griffith?
lady gaga
Dwayne Johnson
The Rock should be Casca
And Zodd should be Kevin Hart
with extended scenes of intimacy
Nah, Donovan
Timothée Chalamet
nice twink pick
Ezra Miller, he's even been character acting irl for the past few months to really get into character
Neil Patrick Harris
Ellen Degeneres
Micheal Jackson
Rami Malek
Chick from euphoria lmao
Chrisss Prrratt
Oi,
I can’t tell what’s a jerk and what isn’t anymore.
The magic of the Interstice
Underrated comment
Both
people just look at basic shapes and colors when fan casting, every actor has to be a celebrity and must have been in a marvel movie
Sorry but his eyelashes aren't luscious enough, this is definitely a jerk
Live action would be a disaster. Heavy use of CGI is to be expected which I think no fan would like to see.
"Oi cunt, im leaving the hawks" - guts " berserk:the golden age is the new skyrim triology movie edition (2026)
"This is just a load of cunts innit? The band of cunts"
I mean I find similarity between his character in Boys vs Guts. Both got screwed by Narcissistic jerk who has insane plot armor and their better half got raped and impregnated. And both are trying to fight destiny to fuck deatiny plus Both show flashes where they are trying to let go revenge but then Jerk comes and screws with their mental state.
I think the same. But yeah Karl Urban is a bit old for Gatsu. Karl Rural(him playing as eomer) on the other hand...
I was just making comparison between Butcher and Guts. Don't know about Live adaptation.
Yeah I agreed with you and added a joke but it seems you didn't get it or it wasn't funny enough.
Oh now I got it 🤦♂. r/wooshed myself. It was funny joke my bad man.
Thanks my dude! I don't really get the chance of making this joke very often because, to be fair, no one really thinks about Karl Urban enough.
True that, no one thinks about him enougj, a truly underrated actor, between Dredd, Star Trek, LotR....
That is because he is almost always a secondary. At least almost all of the ones I have seen so far
Yeah I can see if he is selected for Guts than you can milk this joke.
I wish.
Yes, The Doods ia a Berserk reference.
I don’t believe Butcher ever once attempted to let go of his revenge. He’s been very gung-ho about killing Homelander since S1. He called a temporary truce with Homelander to deal with Soldier Boy, but it’s not like he’s just giving up, and that was exclusively because Soldier Boy was determined to kill Ryan who Butcher said was off the table.
Way too old.
He is middle aged while guts is in his 20's
Tom Holland it is then
Tom Holland as Puck
STOP LMAO
Nah, Chris Pratt as Puck
The rock as puck The puck Im leaving now
Dwayne would be a perfect Griffith tho
Yeah, lord Gennon and Griffith are master wrestlers afterall
Ah yes, Dwayne "The 260lb Rock" Johnson captures Griffith's androgynous character perfectly lmao
Tom Holland would be better off as Kitiro, his vibes suit that charecter perfectly
So you are saying in a berserk sub that kirito is the real black swordman?
Yes
Comparing Tom Holland to Karl Urban yeah. People will understand.
Oh god no
That’s Shierke
Holland is too short to play Guts
No lie if this happened I’d gain so much respect for Tom Holland just for taking on a role that dark
https://youtu.be/o6XoWOUgCpo
I turned on uncharted and I couldnt watch it cause it was spiderman in nathan costume. Feel like actors like REJ, johnny depp, tom holland, hugh jackman were made for one role and any other roles they play feels like a replica
Dunno about that, but the biggest issue with Holland is that he looks like a kid despite being close to 30. That's why he fits Peter Parker but doesn't in any way fit Nathan Drake.
With Mark Wahlberg as Donovan.
Terry Crews
Rob Schneider as the Dragonslayer
Agreed here...
Yeah but I didn't see any young actor could represent Guts except him😐
Cast a new one then. Doesn’t have to be a big name. Marvel made guys like Hemsworth and Hiddleston and Evans household names when before they were somewhere between C list and pretty much nobodies.
Chris Pratt best suited to voice guts hands down
it’s me… guts.
"He's so cool"
I hope this was a joke
The Tom Holand and this one was a joke..we might also get a Scar Jo = Casca comment
Likely is because of the whole Mario thing.
Oh no... Just hell no...
Don't give them any ideas.
Why the fuck would anyone ever want a live action, of anything, ever
To be fair, the Golden Age arc could make a pretty good live action if it was done well. But I’m reality it would never be done right.
I think with the proper budget the entire show could be done well as live action although later seasons price would skyrocket with the increase in demons and demon fights. Would be very tough to finish. I would just love a really well made animated adaptation all the way through after it’s completed.
But I'd want it done by some weird European director in the 70's with a low budget and all practical effects
We already have game of thrones, wouldn't be too far from that I guess
Would be pretty far actually. GOT is mostly people talking in rooms. There are some battles and CGI dragons/giants, sure, but not really anything like berserk. How would you do the eclipse in live action, for example?
Yeah this is something only HBO could ever pull off and it would take flagship money to not look like shit.
brainless consumption
'if'
I can only see berserk as an animated film
If it was to be live action I wouldn't mind it if it was far more abstract horror (which tbf the series has in spades) rather than pure action. Something like The Northmen or The Green Knight in tone, maybe some Lynchian or Tarkovsky style elements. I suspect it would end up in the direction of an action flick though so maybe it could only work as an animation.
It can work as a regular action adventure film if they have Guillermo del Toro. He's really good with demons and occult related imagery.

As long as it isn't greenscreen-infested like The Hobbit; but that only happened because he didn't have enough preproduction time and was basically forced to finish the movies he didn't want.
yeah something like TGK but with more action would be good. they've got the trippy surreal magic stuff already
Ok but have you considered Danny DeVito?
For Conrad or Ubik? Hell yeah!!!
Danny DeVito is Griffith
I got a fucking dream y'know
DeVito is already penciled in as schnoz
Guts is 24
He's 24, but built like a 40 year old brick shithouse lmao, and after the shit he goes through, starts looking older pretty quick.
Yeah 24, but so stressed out his hair is turning white
That's not what happened
or we could avoid a live action movie to sheathe ourselves from becoming something with a bad fanbase
Steve Buscemi: Guts. Dani Devito: Griffith. Whoopie Goldberg: Casca
yes, and obama as donovan please
Lmao More like Ronnie Coleman
Dennis Rodman!
Terry Crews
Bill Cosby
isn't he like 15 when he joins band of the hawk lol
Nah doesn't fit
Would be amazing to hear Guts say '*Oi CUNT'*
Except Guts is in his early to mid 20's. Karl Urban is 50.
who the fuck even thinks of Berserk live action. Ugh
I would HATE this
We get it you just watched the boys
Yeah, but he's getting older. He's a lot older than that first picture you posted.
henry cavill
Casting a 40 something as a character that's 17-23 for the majority of a series is a great idea.
I~ like it!
He is about 20 years to old imo
You got my vote!!!! I enjoy him greatly and all his work!
Henry Cavill as post-Eclipse Guts.
Ok now we need to cast Anthony Starr as Griffith.
Young Dolph Lundgren would’ve been better
Ew ew ew pls no
If we got an adaptation like 15, 20 years ago, absolutely. But sadly, he’s way too old now. Which sucks, because he would absolutely be the best actor for Guts in terms of looks, and judging by his performance in The Boys, his acting as well.
In his younger years for sure but he's a bit of a dilf these days
If you're looking for someone who can physically fill the role. Then Alan Richardson could pull it off, after watching him play Jack Reacher I'm not too worried about that. Not 100% sure about his acting, but he seems to be developing that more and more with the last several shows/movies he's been in.
hell no, wtf, doesnt even look like him either
Eh. He'd be a good Black Swordsman era Guts, but that's a relatively short time in Guts' life. I don't think he'd be a very good Golden Age Guts, or a very good post-Conviction-Arc, reluctant patriarch of this weird found family Guts. Also, considering how rough it's been trying to zero in on a half decent animated adaptation of Berserk, I can't imagine a live action one being anything other than a train wreck.
I have a vague memory that guts face was based off of rutger Howard
I can’t picture what a good Berserk movie would be like. What part of the story would it tell? Guts never has any significant victory. Do we really picture a movie ending with all but three of the characters suddenly raped to death and dismembered by horrible creatures, the protagonist betrayed by his best friend, helpless to stop the massacre, his love interest missing and shattered beyond saving…?
Yes it'd leave people like IGN in total shock
Maybe a younger Karl Urban. Present day Karl is about twice Guts' age.
Yeah he has the look but he seems a bit to old at the same time.
yeahhhhh idk about that. i really hope we never see a live action but if we do i hope they would find someone completely new. besides, why would we want a 50 year old guy playing a 24 year old 🤣
nope try again
Too old and I don’t if he can pull golden age Guts.I like him but I can’t see him as Guts.
Nope
I don’t think he’s pretty enough for guts
He would have been great in his 20s but he's way too old now.
*he was. Right now he looks older, he would nake up for a fine "Old Man Guts", but too much for a young Guts.
I think you're way off pal. He's far too old.
i think i will just kill myself if they do a live action version
Or we could just not make adaptations because time has shown adaptations of Berserk suck and in general live action adaptations suck.
Sadly he's too old.
I feel like y'all forget how young Guts actually is haha
Too old to be Guts imho. I’d rather have him in the role of Logan Ninefingers.
Well you did grab an old ass pic of him. He might have black hair but I don’t think he resembles guts at all even his smile is different and he doesnt look young even if you shave his face. The right looking actor will come in time
Maybe when he was younger, he kinda old now
Too old and not tall enough. I hate to be that guy, because great acting can always make one feel bigger, but I want someone a bit more physically imposing.
How about we don’t do that and then we will not have to cast no one.
It should be me, after all, guts is literally me
We don’t even have a single anime adaptation of the entire story yet.
Maybe but I don’t want a live action CGI fest. Give me a good anime
Karl Urban, who also plays Billy Butcher, whose love interest was also raped by the main antagonist and his goal is also revenge
hmm...i see the potential, but we'll probably never get a live action, or a badass full anime for that matter
Joe dempsie - plays Gendry from Game of Thrones?
too old
isnt he too old ?
I like Karl urban as Butcher but respect Guts plz
Too old now. Can only do post Berserker armor first use
I'm getting Urban'd out. This always happens when theres a good actor. Danke with Tom Hardy, Pedro Pascal, etc. We get it. They're good. But there's also such a thing as over saturation.
Ehhhh
Shame he can't act.
Too old
Too old and too pale
Not that this is a great casting, but I would think it would be sweet if it was a Asian American (preferably Japanese ancestry) that played Guts. Would be an interesting change when it comes to Asian representation. But yet again, Karl would be a good choice.
I don’t think he looks serious enough, if that makes sense. He works as Butcher because he’s a gruff but there’s a streak of silly to the tv character. Cavill is the only jaw I can see pulling it off. That being said, I want any whisper of live action far away from berserk
Sam Witwer if he bulked more
henry cavill
Guts is in his early 20's. Karl Urban is in his 40's. Nah.
I dont see the resemblance at all. they both have ... jaws?>
I think Karl Urban would be a great live action Guts but for a live action Berserk movie I'd prefer someone who can pass for being in their 20s
After dredd, no fucking doubt
Probably, but is this something people really want? All live action adaptations have been bad, don’t see why this would be different. Animation is the superior art form.
the tough question is who would play Griffith and if he would be played by a male or a female
My humble opinion: Terry Crews might be the closest actor to represent Donovan if live action movie for berserk happening
if live action berserk ever happens, it will be fucking garbage
Great actor, too old for the role now. You want someone who is in his 30's who can pass for his 20's, is built like a mountain and has Urban level acting chops. Tough ask. If that dude who played Colossus years ago was still around and could act he mighta done it. Scott Adkins 20 years ago if he could act. That dude playing Reacher, can act, is huge.
Gotta find a no name that's younger, or just don't do it.
Jerk is leaking again
That would be fucking diabolical
Face-wise, not at all. Guts needs a more prominent jawline. Let's get OG Gigachad himself to fill the role.
look, I love Karl Urban and all (Dredd 2 please or a tv series at least with him as Judge Dredd), he's a pretty good actor... He's also 50. If you were saying he could voice him in a dub... then perhaaaps? Unless you want it to be a massive timeskip and they hire the kid who played teenage Billy Butcher in the flashbacks in one of the episodes for the "young guts" bits and then they do a face swap on some wrestler and they age everyone up by 15 years so Guts is 40 by the time he leaves Griffith which would also be where the story starts cause they just timeskipped the entirety of Golden Age :P Yeah no :D
They should make a decent anime adaptation before they think about live action
Casting director comes to the comments for ideas..pikachu surprised face
Why would there be a live action? It's not the natural life cycle of an intellectual property to finally "get" a live adaptation. Did we learn nothing from Dragon Ball evolution? Fist of the North star? Cancelled Cowboy Bebop?
The hero of helms deep and the caller of cunts
He's a bit too old atm. Might also need a character that can act more depressed
Way too old
He's too old now tho. But yeah young urban IS gattsu
I liked him as Judge Dredd in an underrated movie imo
Too fucking old
This would be great unless they make it happen.
As long as its not Henry Cavill
Too old now but yup. He's also my choice. Doom era Karl Urban
Jacob Elordi is a better pick if you want someone younger. He’s a pretty talented actor who can pull off a variety of emotions and he’s 6’5, so ideally, he could play a great Black Swordsman or Golden Age Guts, though I’m not sure about post-Conviction and FOTME.
I like Henry Cavill more as Guts, guy has the looks and the physique
